Full agree. Get his product’s name as part of the general term and it’d confuse people into thinking it was the original.

I’ve never heard the term “threadiverse”. Where are you coming across it?

I think at best it will be gradual, and it won’t be Kbin that takes over, but the combination of Kbin, Lemmy, and whatever other applications that pop up that handle the same Fediverse link aggregation.

Even then, there seems to be a resistance to Federated services by the bulk of the population, so if someone can make another centralized, capital-funded link aggregator, I’d guess that it would pick up more of the Reddit exodus than here.

In OP’s situation where they’re downloading a car, I think it’s a safe assumption that the car has already been designed/engineered and OP is just printing it out and assembling it. This would be akin to a kit car, and modern kit cars certainly don’t require specialized engineering skills to assemble.

At it’s core, whatever system you implement is going to have four buckets:

• I need to see and deal with this immediately
• I need to see this immediately, but can deal with it later
• I need to see this at some point
• This is a complete waste of my time

When you set up filters/rules, it’s typically safer to err in putting something in a higher priority bucket.

Past that, it really depends on the email you receive. For mine, an easy differentiator is if I’m a direct recipient, just a CC, or if I’m getting it as a member of a group mailbox. I get a lot of automated notifications, and those are easy to sort based on source and subject line.
